Consecutive patients, aged 45 years and older, who are scheduled for primary total hip or knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis will be randomized to an intervention or control (no intervention) group. All patients will be interviewed by telephone prior to the intervention, by an interviewer blinded to group status, to collect data on current leisure activity and expected activity at 6 months after surgery. Patients will also complete a questionnaire to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Comorbidity Index), pain intensity (0-10 scale), health-related quality of life (SF-12), hip-/knee-specific outcomes (Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score/Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score), general expectations (Hospital for Special Surgery Total Hip/Knee Replacement Expectations Surveys), and stage of readiness for change.
